Facebook Connect: what type of user profile information can be retrieved?

When enabling Facebook Connect, any facebook user can then login to your website,

what type of user profile开发者_JS百科 information can my website retrieve?

Username? Email? First Name? Last Name?

There is a ton of information you can retrieve, if the user has permitted it through their privacy settings. Just about everything you can retrieve is in a FQL table somewhere: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FQL_Tables

You cannot, however, get their email. You need to ask permission, using the API, to do that. This is also not a data bonanza, you can only permanently store the user ID. Everything else you can only store for 24 hours, then need to re-query Facebook for the information.

If you just want to display the user's first and last name, you can use FBML rendered with the Facebook Connect code. http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBML

Khou,

There are seriously loads of API docs around.

Good luck on your facebook journey ;)
